Here are the segments of the episode: 3:35 - Asia Calling 1 - Philippines cut the budget for contraceptives 10:30 - Asia Calling 2 - A man in India uses the oldest camera in the world 17:19 - The Malaysian Insider (2008 - 2016) This episode was produced by Aziff Azuddin, Aisyah Tajuddin, Sharyl Kaur and Muhammad Haniff Baharudin.
